It looks like there might be a slight misunderstanding, “e” is pronounced as the e in “metal”, “test”, “wrench”.
We do not use a different sound for it, and it does not rhyme with hey at all :D
Adding the H to some of these letters wouldn’t give the right sound for native english speakers
I think the only one that could be tricky would be the “uh” since it could be confused with the interjection “uhhh”, but as you mentioned, it is indeed pronounced as “oo”.
Also just so you guys know meme is pronounced may-may in spanish.
It’s more like meh-meh, our vowels don’t have additional sounds.
For more accurate pronunciation you can think of Spanish vowels as if they had an ‘h’ at the end.
Ah
Eh
Ih
Oh
Uh
It must be really messed up seeing all sorts of fucked up content 40+ hours a week
I was just seeing the access ramp to the municipality office yesterday and it looked so steep and I just wonder how the hell are you supposed to go up lol
It’s a very common word in other languages (Spanish) but my brain didn’t even process it correctly the first time I saw it in English lol
HN is a news aggregator where users can find and discuss the latest news and submit content on anything that gratifies one’s intellectual curiosity. YC alumni also post engineering, product, and design jobs on HN.
It has pretty interesting discussions most of the time, the comments are usually very technical, but you can find pretty much the average Lemmy/reddit type of stuff there.
Catholicism spread their regionalized interpretations of Jesus and other important figures, for example the virgin Mary is represented with attributes similar to those of the locals as well as the colors of the country flag.
In Mexico we have the Virgen de Guadalupe, she’s “morenita” (light brownish skin) and she’s wearing a green robe, she has a red aura around her and she’s on a white ish background, similar to the Mexican flag 🇲🇽
In Argentina they have the Virgen de Luján, she’s wearing a light blue robe and her hands suddenly pop out of her robe right in the middle of her body, simulating the structure of the Argentinian flag 🇦🇷
In Venezuela, they have the Virgen de Coromoto, wearing a blue robe, red pants and she’s under a yellow structure, once again, similar to the country flag. 🇻🇪
They used the virgin here as LATAM countries are centered around respect for one’s mother, so normally you can find people calling the virgin as they would their mother, and then you sprinkle the flags colors for further identification.
Isn’t that the plot of Strays?
Some clients have post and comment score across instances visible, see Voyager
By having an upvote / downvote system it already has a censoring and ranking system.
If you look at most threads people downvote dissenting opinions regardless of the quality of their arguments, some instances become echo chambers that way.
You can easily control the narrative by upvoting someone that argues against you, most people will see your comment as
1 upvote 1 downvote
And the person arguing with you as
2 upvotes
Therefore they will be biased to downvote you further and upvote the other person as their social calibration defaults to thinking you are in the wrong as someone else said so already, it’s more economical that way as you won’t really have to do that assessment.
It’s a very interesting phenomenon and I’d like to do some formal testing with it across multiple social media with upvote/downvote functions, but I believe it does censor opinions that do not adhere to the usual feelings of the majority.
I’ve had a good experience with YouTube comments but I feel they are pretty pointless as:
there is no search function:Ctrl f only takes you so far as it just looks at what is currently present and sometimes even hidden by display more or within replies, it’s very annoying.
people spam a lot and comments only load in batches: 10k comments in popular videos saying shit like ‘sir thank you sir, excellent tutorial, I didn’t understand anything but I like using React’.
some comments get auto removed: if you want to post a workaround or some piece of code, it gets removed if there’s a link or link-looking structure.
I mostly comment on tech-related tutorials just to post a list of the issues I had and the solutions, from time to time I get pinged with more questions and people are generally grateful and sometimes other people mention better/easier workarounds.
Phones can have double sims, and WhatsApp web (been out for years by now) can be used on any decent Desktop Browser, it can also be installed as a PWA and I think there is a WhatsApp Desktop version as well.
Your typical Lemming (for lack of a better term)
That’s the right term
I was curious too so I googled it:
Scam baiter Jim Browning bamboozled by scammers into deleting his own YouTube channel
From what I read, some scammer tricked him by impersonating YouTube Support and telling him he would lose all his adsense revenue, which prompted Browning to fall for it.
Honestly, what were you expecting? There just can’t be any Utopic website or group that won’t fight at all. People moved over to Lemmy because they hated Spez’ decisions, not because they were these mythical, superior moral beings that only help others out of selfless reasons. Sure we all have values and principles but that does not excuse us of our faults.
Still, it’s still used as a measurement that only a small fraction of the world still uses.
That’s a lot of stills 🤔
But coming back to your point, yes, I have no idea why the US insists on keeping the imperial system, it’s outdated, ugly and inconsistent. Plus you cannot easily convert from one unit to another.
It’s funny and sad at the same time that career politicians are allowed to exist because they tend to be the ones voting for their own restrictions and benefits.
Term restrictions? Fuck that
Increase our own salary even though we haven’t passed any new laws actually helping society? Let’s goo
For women who assembled iPhones at a Foxconn plant in southern India, crowded dorms without flush toilets and food sometimes crawling with worms were problems to be endured for the paycheck.
Fucking disgusting
First time I hear about that! Haven’t talked with my Colombian friends in a while, but regions are indeed getting stronger differences every day although it is mostly with the marked s, c, g, h, j, r sounds, rarely with the vowels.
Anecdotally, I’ve never met a spanish speaker from any country (Colombia included) that pronounces the “e” as “ey” though, so it’s interesting to think how that can happen. For context, tv and people in general use that pronunciation to mock (in a satirical way) English speakers trying to speak Spanish.
